Saw a stock 1300 a while ago. What a difference. Where did the back tyre come from? That would look good on my buggy, let alone on a bike!!!

Do you actually need the side stand? I like your style, air cooled cars and water cooled bikes...

Exactly. My brother wants to get a VFR for transport to campus and back, I'm trying to convince him to get an older Jap bike such as a CB750 or ZRX or something similar :mrgreen:
